Hi all - I have just started looking for the name - Ellen Weller, from Seven Oaks in Kent England - born possibly around 1845, then married in New Zealand in 1865, to Ernst Friedrich Diehl - but have no further information than that.  Wondering if anyone has any connects to Weller - where they know they have emigrated to NZ between 1840's and 1860's?  Thanks, Pauline

Do you have the marriage certificate and if so does it list any parental details?

Thanks everyone for your help with Ellen Weller - I believe  she is the one mentioned with the family name of Bowra - as this is also one of my Great - grandfather's names - Ernst Harold Bowra Diehl.  Thanks again.  regards,Pauline
